That is one amazing place ,
How many cars are you cleaning with all the A Glym stuff ?
If that's just the garage how good is the house ?

Thanks I only use it for our 2 cars - currently a Audi S3 Sportback from 2016 and a VW Golf IV GTI from 2000.

The rest of the house is ok

The lintel is installed as it should. It is just a basic lintel for the garage door. There are no hinges on the picture, as you wrote. Just a small piece of wood which obviously has been removed, as it was just for temporarily “support”.

Not familiar with building regulations in Denmark...but I can see when something is wrong in a photo.
Ignore the fact the lintel is only bearing on...75/100mm each side..if that!.
On the right side (looking at pic) the lintel sits on a complete panel...the piece is next to it
On the left side...the lintel sits on a piece of panel.
That is not good building practice...and would never comply with UK regulations.

I can see what you mean now. However for both the UK and danish building-regulations concerning correct installation of intels, all lintels should have a suitable bearing onto the wall at each side of the opening. As long as the aerated concrete can support (which it can do easily), there are no problems.

However my OCD would have made it even on both sides as stated by you, if I had made the concrete walls, but in this case I didn't make them

Not "suitable" in the UK...minimum 150mm
But...I only ask the question out of interest,not to overly criticize.Enjoy your home
Your builders might be dodgy...but Denmark can proudly claim to have one of the best in Nicki Pedersen..
